Ok, echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend did the trick
for my Benq 3300 S2W scanner.

It's a good idea creating a quirks list. But what makes me worry is,
that in my opinion too less people will come to this bug page and post
their problematic USB hardware ID. And I think that especially new Linux
users, which Ubuntu tries to address, won't post their problematic
hardware specs here.

If their hardware won't work, and they search in ubuntuforums or
somewhere and get an answer like: "you have to go to command line,
insert a command, post it to this bugs page and wait a few weeks until
an updated quirks list is available with a new kernel update" they maybe
go further and won't use Linux any more.

I do not know how many USB devices are affected from autosuspend, but it
seems that these are a lot of people regarding to length of this report.
I think it would be better to offer a dialog for people who have
problematic hardware, that appends the line

echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

to /etc/rc.local for example. Maybe this is not a clean solution but
better than having people with broken hardware to wait a few
weeks/months until an updated quirks list with a new kernel is released.
